Yesterday

My sympathy to Mikes family. I only knew Mike since he and Reba moved into Brownstone. I am one of their neighbors. Mike was quite the jokester and loved to talk sports. He loved his red car and was so happy that you have it. I always enjoyed my visits with him when he moved to the Meadows. Our floor missed him. He shared the "People"magazine with me after Reba left Brownstone and could not enjoy them anymore. In exchange I kept his shelf and door decorated for the changing season. They were great neighbors. I am so sorry that I will miss his service because I will be away on a 3 day Tel Hai bus trip. You will all be in my thoughts on Friday
With sincere sympathy, Gloria Christman
